rules interp meetings

[112448]

That just sounds like a BAD idea. There are some folks that won't touch a rules book, EVER, unless they have to do so. Not only should there be a rules meeting each year, but all officials should be required to take a test each year. In Texas at least I know that every official I work with passed a rules test that year -- makes me feel a lot more comfortable. In some of the other states in which I've worked, where annual testing wasn't a requirement, there were some folks who hadn't OPENED the current years rules book. If the Federation and the NCAA publish new rules books each year, we should be tested each year, even if there are few changes.

Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox.
